30-minute weekly radio program for July 13, 2010.

Dr. Susan Rosenthal discusses North America's bad public health and bad heath-care systems--the subject of her new book, "Sick and Sicker: Essays on Class, Health and Health Care." In this installment we discuss the root cause of much disease--social inequality--the practice of psychiatry, why depression and other disorders are so common (and so poorly treated), and why, each year, for-profit medicine kills 23 times as many Americans as criminal use of firearms.
